AT LP5 IPT
The AT LP5 IPT has been bought as a vinyl front end for a second system in my house. It unpacked and built up with remarkable speed for those used to the fussy set up of the many so-called super decks. Fit platter to spindle, drop mat onto platter, balance tone-arm, and add 2 grams of VTF by rotating the Rega RB202 weight one full turn, (1 gram per 180 degree of rotation) Plug in the supplied good quality interconnect, selected the on-board Phono stage, attached the kettle lead, and I was ready to go. From the off, I found that the step down (from my LP12 /SME reference) that I had expected, was nowhere near as significant as I might have thought. In fact, there was a kindness to surface noise, and a naturalness that took me quite by surprise, but this came with no apparent lack of drive and attack. To try the deck, I dug out a favorite record, and a great test for any source. The opening track on side two of the fabulous1973 debut Billy Cobham album ‘Spectrum’ is underpinned by a real groove of a bass line laid down by Lee Sklar. On this track, Cobham’s masterful and ground breaking drumming rolls and twists its way, serpent like, around an immaculate, and rock solid bass groove. This propels the track in a manner that must have been an inspiration (and influence) to Sly and Robbie in their later illustrious career? The AT LP5 IPT turntable at this point immediately impressed me with its un-erring pinning down of the timing of this complex musical interplay, where the metronomic bassline is brought into a classic Jazz (Fusion?) tension by the minute and subtle chasing ahead, and slowing down of Cobham’s complex rhythmically timed conversation with Sklar. This really was a great start. At one point, the lead guitar work by Tommy Brolin was, self evidently, emanating from well outside of the left hand speaker. A feat quite remarkable that the prosaic (if already well respected) AT 95E cartridge was able to enhance its giant killer status in this modest context, it could not have been more impressive than right here. To say I'm pleased with the turntable would be an understatement, I am absolutely loving how good it is, and may have to sneak it in to my reference system, but daren't in case it shames my Linn LP12! Thanks Simon for this great new turntable, is it the best kept vinyl secret out there?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

good sound with crippling issues
yes the sound quality seems good initially.. but there are major issues that forced me to return the deck after 24hrs Excessive HF noise on usb output -arm bearing quality is unnaceptable.. Excessive hum from deck even with shielded leads and a ground point added to phono amp and/or turntable. Recordings via usb are unlistenable due to excessive high frequency noise, have tested with platter not revolving, so its not motor noise. have swapped out supplied cable for a dedicated and shielded cable..noise is exactly the same.. have moved tt to a position away from possible rf noise sources..same noise. Hum at unnaceptable levels and spoiling the listening at normal listening levels, ground lead attached does nothing, nor does using dedicated and shielded phono leads, again TT moved away from possible sources of mains Rf and no difference Bearing. movement in both axis and flimsy mounting to plinth.. lid mounts.. loose in their respective sockets and lid will attempt to come of mounts every time its opened. I would accept this from a deck of £75 not from something 4 times the price, i dont consider myself a picky person but these issues are not acceptable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic for playing your old LP's
This is an excellent turntable and with its built-in (switchable) pre-amp will connect to most devices. The sound quality is excellent and it was very easy to set-up. At this price I don't see how anyone would be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Superb
I chose this turntable carefully. Compared to the AT-LP120, it has a working anti-skate and a slightly better stylus. It won't damage your records like the cheaper turntables, so if/when you upgrade in future, your vinyl will still be sparkling. The built in phono preamp is a good convenience, and unlike the AT-LP120, switching out the preamp actually removes it from the signal path. Reviews commonly say a better external preamp is worth having, but not all external preamps *are* better than the built in one, so it's good to have this included for the price. The only other turntable I considered in the end was the Rega Planar 1, but once you included the phono preamp and the upgrade to an elliptical stylus, the price was a fair amount more than the AT-LP5 and I decided that this would suit me just fine. I've enjoyed it and don't regret my decision at all.

This is a great turntable. Previously I had a Rega RP1 which I sold because it was too flimsy for my liking. This unit sounds as good if not better.
A better piece of kit all round!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished
